is it true that Europeans are responsible for the advancement of science and civilization?

Answer 1

what?
study your history more. Many people from many different backgrounds are responsible for the advancement of science AND civilization.

Answer 2

LET THE POWER OF MY ENCHANTED RING ENLIGHTEN YOU...The Cosmos is full of wonder and awe. The term European is misleading when used in the context of science and civilization advancement. You really have to look at the ancient cultures all over the earth on a timeline to get an appreciation of science and civilization advancement. Ancient Greece is considered by most historians to be the foundational culture of Western Civilization. But the cradles of early civilizations were river valleys , such as the Yellow River valley in China, the Nile valley in Egypt, and the Indus Valley in the Indian subcontinent. In these areas, human development took great leaps and knowledge spread to other areas in Eurasia and Africa. The great civilizations of the Greeks and Romans had seeds in Egypt and Sumeria (today what is known as Turkey, Syria, Iran & Iraq). The middle ages saw significant advances in science and technology as more Greek and Arabic literary works were translated and distributed throughout Europe and the entrepreneurial spirit hit Europe. The last 500yrs of human history has seen a significant output of science and technology advancement out of Europe.

Answer 3

Yes. Modern scientific advancement have taken place in Europe. But there were advancements in Mathematics, Astronomy, Medicine, civil structures in other countries out side Europe. Regarding Civilization, the greater advanced Civilizations like Egyptian, Chinese, Hindu, Mesopotamian, of Mayas and Incas were prevalent outside Europe, centuries before European Civilizations.
No body could claim that any advancement is their own.All scientific advancements are based on the work already done by others.
This is a vast subject, it needs deeper study.

Answer 4

The correct answer is that a lot of groups were.The Chinese ,
Egyptians,Sumerians,Persians are but some that I could name,The numbers we use every day came from the Hindus.If you believe that Europeans were solely responsible for the for the advancement of science and civilization you need to look up these ancient civilizations.It would help your knowledge of history.

Answer 5

It is true different civilizations and national origins withstand climate and advances in sexual nature, to cope with science and mathematics. Now it seems adventurous to say this attains only to europeans, but it is true, as well as it is true science and civilization are the trendmark of Peru and the walkingstone of Egypt. These wonderful civilizations and national origins gave birth to astronomy, mathematics and architecture. Other places gave way or origin to magnetism and chemistry, truly wonderful breaktroughs of their time.
Currently in prudential years we live the come of prefabricated emotion, so it is only natural to become makebelieve and assorted (Nifra). In the future it is time for dissasemble and adherance (Sutra). Other times are of selfdetachment and sorrow (Tantra).
These lapses of deletion come and go with no further advancements in technology but in feelings of love and disdain for control. Thus it is important this age represents as well the millenium of false intuition and will end in 240 years (somewhere else, not in the lying lain).
In other parts as well it will be time for the next age in 2850 years, or 2610 years after the beginning of the latter.
As well as the obelisk period there is the mincing parade, whether there is the peruvian cinicism that comes along with true things known to europeans and white men around the planet. Perhaps it should be averted any attempts to disclosure the sinful avoidance of virtue and piety. Amen.

Answer 6

Let'ssee: Phonecians developed the vital concept of ZERO.
Greeks did a good job on early math and astronomy.
Babylonians and Mayans did good astronomy.
Moors passed on the remnants of Greek science to Europe.
The Enlightenment opened the door for science's explosion.

This of course leaves out the Chinese. Example 1890's US celebrate a drill to 180 feet or so in PA. The Chinese had reached almost 2700.
Gunpowder - paper - block printing

It is a judgement call often tinged w/ racial pride.

Answer 7

No...This is mainly the work of Indians

Rhinoplasty, amputation, caesarean and cranial surgeries, anesthesia, antibiotic herbs

Chemistry alchemical metals


Astronomy and mathematics

The Decimal

Metallurgy

Why is there so much ignorance? The Indians were definitely responsible for a vast number of advancements and achievements in the scientific sense.

Why is this civilization overlooked?

Answer 8

The cradle of civilization is considered to have been Mesopotamia, specifically along the Euphrates river. That is where farming, as opposed to hunting gathering, started about 7000 years ago. Many different cultures and people on different continents have since contributed to science. The biggest contributors to civilization over the centuries, in my mind, are the people who have fought against racism, slavery, etc.

Answer 9

In today's modern world yes. Civilizations have risen and fallen, but what we have today largely comes to us from what the Europeans have done. For instance, India was the first place we have record of plumbing, Rome is the second, but neither one of them gave us modern plumbing. Their civilatiazations died before they directly influnced us. Things have been discovered and rediscoved over time. Also, Europe in responsilbe for global colonization, not that they should have gone into other contries and taken them over, but they did and thus have made a lasting imprint on the rest of the world.

Answer 10

Possibly. Why do some countries thrive, while others rot? It's obviously science, education and technology. Why did the Romans of The Roman Empire rule the world? They built roads. Why were the British so successful in wars during the 1900's? - They made ships. Why is the U.S. such a dominating nation? - We have the atomic bomb. And so on and so forth. Advances in technology sculp our world today as we know it.
